Notre-Dame de Bruxelles *M20260110 Mixed media / Canvas 120 X 80 cm (47 X 31 In) 2026 The Artist Is Present : Initially, this series began as a tribute to fellow women artists, personal idols, and the figures who inspired me during my years at art school. These hypothetical icons evoke both real and imagined memories. They are continually reconfigured through references to popular culture and subtle reinterpretations of art history—layered, sampled, and remixed into new visual narratives. The series is created using simple materials such as colored pencils, graphite, and spray paint, most often applied directly to raw canvas. “Code for Air blow” 2006 Mixed /  gelatin silver print  71x54 cms (28 X 21 IN) SOLD Artwork acquired by Contemporary Art Museum of Morelia (MACAZ) , MÉXICO MX Mich.

Inclusion of New Works in the Mexican museums Catalog: "The division bell" Mixed media / Paper. 61X46 cms "Amy and the Criminals"  Mixed/Canvas 107 X 81 cms  Acquired by Tax Administration Service in CDMX, MX Catalog:  0867_2021 Inclusion of New Works in the Federal Catalog A series of my recent works has recently been added to the Mexican's  federal catalog, a development that brings me immense satisfaction and, above all, I perceive it as a "magical honor." For me, this achievement acts as a sort of "time machine." The inclusion of these works in the national catalog not only gratifies me but also ensures traceability and easy access in the distant future. With advancements in search technologies, it's conceivable that a descendant, perhaps in the year 2935, could stumble upon my ideas and my unique representation of the present. This notion of art transcending time, allowing us to connect with the truths of people in other eras, l...

Houses of the Holy *PBLTG0721 (The Three Graces) 250X150cms mix/canvas. 2021 SOLD I was raised in a religious tradition, then a fascination for the ancient religious iconography was so obvious. Since young, far from being interested in the Sunday liturgy mass, my gaze was focused on those painful madonnas of  European origins, the Mexican baroque, its exaggeration in the images, the omnipresent figure of the Virgin of  Guadalupe but also the rituals from the indigenous traditions.

I was so obsessed with the Medieval cathedrals, the art of “Fin de siècle,“ the icons and the ancient jewelry but also the  popular culture, the mix from the different cultures, races and different music styles in those cosmopolitan cities. At first glance it may seem opposite but if we see this mix of processes with the eyes of dialectic maybe we can find a  kind of a synthesis, maybe a mix between Pink Floyd,  J. S. Bach with C...
